Gavin Schall and XJ are back together for the first time since the NBA Finals to break down a weird first round of the NBA Draft for the New York Knicks.
The duo dives deep on why the Knicks traded down and then ultimately out of the first round and why the strategy confirms their second-round plans this summer.
They then close out the show talking through the implications of the Giannis trade for the Knicks, rivals improving via the draft and why fans should mentally treat Mo Diawara as this year's first round pick.
